“Virtual team” is an odd phrase. It sounds like something that only exists in a digital alternate reality. But virtual teams are very much a reality, and they’re becoming more prevalent with each passing day. A virtual team is no longer an outlier.

“I am convinced that stakeholders must always impact upon the way we manage our projects,” writes Louise M. Worsley in Stakeholder-led Project Management: Changing the Way We Manage Projects. “I hope I can convince you.”. I’m probably the ideal audience for this book: I don’t need convincing.

It’s important to understand the differences between salary vs. hourly pay, whether you’re an employer or employee. Knowing the pros and cons will help you decide which option suits you or your business best. Salary vs. hourly pay: What’s the difference? In the U.S. most people get paid either through a salary or hourly pay. The main difference between the two is that a salaried income is set in advance, while hourly pay fluctuates depending on the amount of time you work.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched.

TL; DR: Scrum’s Nature: It Is a Tool; It Is Not About Love or Hate. Regularly, we find articles from developers detailing why ‘Agile’ in general and Scrum’s nature, in particular, deserve our collective disdain. What has always struck me in this discussion is the fact that Scrum is a tool useful to accomplish one primary task: delivering value to customers of emergent products in complex environments while mitigating an organization’s exposure to risk at the same time.

The number one thing every project manager needs to level up their skills is experience. And number two? A good project management book. There’s nothing “new” about running a project. Sure, the goals and specific issues will be different in each case. But you can bet that every single type of project has already been run by someone else. And luckily for us all, most of them have been written about.

Is infighting damaging your team morale and retention? Do you know what types of conflict are healthy and which are not? When you do intervene, do you have a strategy, or just ”wing it” and hope for the best? People have different ideas; this diversity helps us overcome any individual shortcomings. It also means conflict is inevitable on projects. Whenever we have people contribute different opinions about a solution, there will be some level of conflict.

Time is money. This aphorism dates back to Benjamin Franklin writing in the 1700s, but it remains true today. If anything, it’s even harder to control the way we spend time, with so many distractions around us. Fortunately, there are many books with advice on this very issue.

What was once a dream for many working people is now a reality, albeit not in the best of circumstances. In my history of working with people, I have personally encountered not an insignificant number of people who preferred to work from home, rather than go to an office building. Think about it: you save money on commuting, and you save time (since time is money, that’s twice the savings… I think).

The Professional version costs almost twice as much as the Standard, but it comes with more features and communication tools. One of Professional’s features is the ability to inactivate a task (or group of tasks) keeping the task information in the plan, but removing the scheduling and cost impact (as well as any related, linked relationships).

You can never be productive if you take on too many responsibilities. You will end up spreading yourself too thin and will not get anything done, at least not well or on time. That’s often what separates highly productive people from those running behind – ability to prioritize and respectfully say no. Most people don’t feel comfortable turning down another person.
